Launch of the 2015 Small Business Festival

The Victorian Small Business Festival is a major fixture in the State Government’s business event series. The Festival, which is held throughout August, features a range of workshops and sessions aimed at fostering business growth.

This afternoon I was invited to the launch, through my role in the Australian Marketing Institute, providing an opportunity meet the participants in the festival, and to gain a broader insight into the program.

Business failure remains an ongoing concern within Australia and Business Victoria has a role in building the capacity of business to stimulate growth and development. Details on the Small Business Festival are available at www.business.vic.gov.au
